Add the butter and toss with the flour. Add the egg, 1/4 cup buttermilk, pumpkin, and vanilla. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If your dough seems dry, add 1 tablespoon buttermilk at a time until the dough comes together. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and then pat into a 1-inch-thick circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the pieces about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush each piece with buttermilk. Transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes. 3. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.4. Meanwhile, make the glaze. Add the butter to a saucepan. Allow the butter to brown lightly until it smells toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir often, butter will foam and then settle back down. Remove from the heat and whisk in the maple syrup, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon coffee, adding more coffee if needed to thin the glaze. Don't add more than 2 tablespoons.5. Let the scones cool slightly and then drizzle with the espresso glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
